The bigger question is, what does he need night vision for?
Really though, I doubt he bought actually nice goggles, he probably picked up some cheapos that are marked up on a random website, just like his China Metal Meteor Sword and Canadian Silver that he paid way more than he should have for.
The Internet is full of people buying cheap shit from China, renaming it, and charging ten times or more. I think the solar bank he was shilling was one of those because it matched one that some company was pitching that turned out to be China trash. It's not even so much that all of these things are scams, it's that if they have the dollars to dump into influencers, they're probably making those back somehow on the margin.
